Hugo Lloris will have to wait a bit longer to make his Tottenham debut.

Andre Villas Boas has confirmed he will have to continue as understudy to Brad Friedel for tomorrow's game against Reading.

"At the moment we feel that Brad is looking consistent and deserves to continue playing," Villas-Boas said. "That is the common-sense approach and anything else would be extremely unfair. I have had a conversation with Hugo and he fully understands this."
